Description
When the house is the supporting act -- you have to see why. Built for the outdoor life, the land and the pole barn are the headliners at Connelley. Just under 5 acres, private and quiet, with a partially wooded setting, a pond that pulls in wildlife (duck hunters, take note), and access to Wabasis Creek, which connects you to all-sports Wabasis Lake. Deer hunt, fish, or drop a kayak in - all without loading the trailer. The pole barn is the kind people build a property around. 2,232 square feet, concrete floors, a heated section (roughly half) for year-round projects, and pull-through access in every bay -- no backing out, no rearranging, no Tetris. Woodworking, mechanic work, boat and toy storage, a small business -- it handles all of it. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is simple and well-kept: Pella windows, metal roof, new well system, new siding, a walk-in closet, and a wood stove for cozy (and cheap) winter heat. Keep it simple, use it as a basecamp, or expand down the road. All of it sits on a scenic dirt road -- the kind that makes the drive home part of the appeal -- 10 minutes to everything you need in Greenville, under 20 minutes to downtown Rockford, and about 30 to Grand Rapids. Rural enough to hear yourself think, close enough to grab dinner in town.
